Assam is a major producer of ginger and turmeric, with high quality output used in spices, traditional medicine, and value added processing for domestic and export markets.

Ginger and turmeric are widely cultivated across Assam due to favourable agro climatic conditions and form an important part of the state’s spice economy. These crops are used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and traditional medicine in forms such as powder, paste, oil, and extracts. Assam’s turmeric is known for its high curcumin content, while ginger is valued for its aroma and quality.
